Room pricing that doesn't match the payer. A discharge summary nobody signed. Ward pharmacy stock that lives on its own register, disconnected from the bill.
CuraVerto's Inpatient module puts admission, the clinical floor, the Operation Theatre and discharge on one billed, audited record, the same rigor the rest of the platform already applies to OPD.

Dues pending owner approval
The bed board is a whiteboard, or a register, or someone's memory. Nobody can say which beds are free without walking the ward, and admissions get quoted a bed that's already taken.
Every room category is billed off the same flat rate, whoever the payer is. A cashless patient gets charged the same figure as a self-pay one, and the mismatch only surfaces at discharge, as a dispute.
A discharge summary gets typed up in Word, printed, and half the time never actually signed. Months later nobody can produce the version the doctor originally dictated, let alone prove it was sent.
The ward keeps its own medicine register, separate from the pharmacy and separate from the bill. What a nurse administers and what the patient is charged for are two different pieces of paper that rarely agree.
A discount, a refund, or a patient discharged still owing money happens on the front desk's own judgment call. The owner finds out, if at all, at month-end reconciliation.
The front desk admits a patient into a general ward bed. The room category carries its own price multiplier, and because this patient is on a cashless policy, that payer mode is set at admission rather than guessed at discharge.
Category and payer-based room pricingThe family pays a deposit by card. The receipt comes off the same numbered document series as every other invoice, carries the card surcharge correctly, and is picked up by the same reconciliation cron that already runs for OPD payments.
Numbered deposit receipts, surcharge includedThe family's insurer approves cashless cover partway through the stay. Moving the patient to the new payer previews the repriced bill before anything is applied, through one atomic reprice function rather than a manual recalculation someone has to remember to do.
Previewed, atomic reprice on a payer changeThe attending doctor places a medicine order. Ward pharmacy dispenses it against the same batch-stock records OPD pharmacy uses, with a drug-interaction check, and the charge posts straight to the running bill. The nurse's shift task queue tracks the dose window; the bed board flags anything overdue or abnormal on the doctor's own patient list.
Orders, ward pharmacy and vitals in one spineThe doctor books an OT slot; the system checks for a clash against theatre availability before confirming it. Two consent gates, at wheel-in and again at anaesthesia start, block the case from proceeding without a signed, procedure-matched consent. The WHO surgical safety checklist and the anaesthesia record are captured against the case itself.
Clash-checked booking, two hard consent gatesRather than waiting for a single number at the end, the stay is billed in full partway through admission, so nobody is surprised by a number they've never seen before.
Interim (mid-stay) billingA small balance remains unpaid. Discharging the patient with dues outstanding, like any discount or refund on the stay, routes through the same owner-approval engine the rest of the platform already uses. Nothing about IPD money moves without the same visibility as any other billing action.
Discharge-with-dues gated by owner approvalA routine discharge can't complete until the summary is signed. Once it is, the PDF is generated at that moment, and it goes out over WhatsApp automatically, to the patient's own number, or to a family number staff enter if the discharge is not routine.
Versioned, WhatsApp-delivered discharge summaryFor the cashless patient, discharge settles on a single GST invoice carrying both the patient's share and the insurer's share. The claim is raised directly off that invoice rather than assembled afterward from separate records.

Double-posted charges on a retried lab or imaging order
Bed categories carry a price multiplier with an optional fixed override. Changing a stay's payer mid-admission previews the repriced bill before it applies, through one atomic reprice function rather than an ad hoc recalculation.
In-patient deposits get their own document-number series and use the same card-surcharge, split-payment and reconciliation machinery as every other invoice on the platform.
Every discount, refund, and discharge that leaves a balance outstanding routes through the platform's existing approval engine, so an owner keeps the same visibility over IPD money as over any other billing action.
A stay can be billed in full partway through admission without waiting for discharge. Care packages bundle services and room-rent days under a capped total that reprice and discount rules can't silently exceed.
Medicine orders dispensed on the ward post their charge straight to the stay's bill and draw from the same batch-stock records as OPD pharmacy, with a drug-interaction check and a guard against dispensing a held or stopped order.
A per-shift task queue tracks medicine administration windows; vitals and intake/output are recorded per stay; the bed board surfaces late tasks, abnormal vitals, and overdue co-signatures on a doctor's own patient list.
Each order type posts its charge exactly once, through a single database-side trigger, so a retried or cancelled order can never double-post or silently drop its charge.
A routine discharge is gated on a signed summary. Every amendment creates a new version rather than editing history, and the signed PDF sends automatically over WhatsApp.
Booking with clash checks against theatre availability, two hard consent gates (wheel-in, anaesthesia start), the WHO surgical safety checklist, and post-op charges (kits, consumables, time bands) posted at sign-out.
A cashless discharge settles on a single GST invoice carrying both the patient's and the insurer's share, with the claim raised directly off that invoice rather than reconciled afterward by hand.
FAQ
It's shipped, tested and merged platform capability, not a roadmap item. Every part of it, room pricing, deposit receipts, the clinical floor, discharge summaries and the Operation Theatre module, sits behind a module flag and the Plus tier, the same gating pattern as IVF & Fertility. No paying clinic currently has that flag switched on; it has been exercised on our internal demo tenant so far. If in-patient beds are part of your operation, we'll walk you through it and scope what turning it on looks like for your clinic.
Inpatient Care requires the Plus plan at ₹49,999/year (which includes 3 branches, ₹9,999/year per additional branch) plus an explicit module flag on your account, the same structure as IVF & Fertility. It is not bundled into Essential or Pro.
Yes, that's the use case this was built for. A pregnancy carried in the IVF module and a delivery admission in the IPD module share the same patient record and tenant, so a fertility clinic that also runs a delivery ward isn't running two disconnected systems for one patient's care.
Each bed category carries a price multiplier with an optional fixed override. If a stay's payer changes mid-admission (self-pay to cashless insurance, for example), the system previews the repriced bill before applying it, through one atomic reprice function rather than a manual recalculation.
Discharge-with-dues, like any discount or refund on the stay, routes through the platform's owner-approval engine before it completes. It isn't a front-desk judgment call, and it isn't invisible until month-end.
No. Lab, imaging and ward-pharmacy charges each post exactly once through a database-side trigger, so a retried or cancelled order can't double-post a charge or silently drop it.
A cashless discharge settles on one GST invoice carrying both the patient's share and the insurer's share, and the claim is raised directly off that invoice. In-patient stays and IVF cycles share the same cashless foundation, so a hospital running both isn't reconciling two separate insurance workflows.
